Overview

The AT24C32E-SSHM-T is a 32Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 4096 words of 8 bits each, optimized for low-power consumer and industrial applications. It operates over a voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V and utilizes a standard I2C interface capable of speeds up to 1MHz. This device features high reliability with Schmitt triggers on inputs for noise suppression and a hardware write-protect pin for data security.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers an ultra-low standby current of approximately 0.8uA, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. It includes a 32-byte page write capability and a fast 5ms write cycle time to improve data throughput during programming sequences.

Applications

Configuration Storage
Storing calibration data, user settings, and network configuration parameters in space-constrained embedded systems.
Event Logging
Recording system logs or error codes in industrial controllers where non-volatile memory is required during power cycles.
Identification Memory
Providing unique serial numbers or asset tracking information on modular peripheral boards and plug-in accessories.

Getting Started

Connect the SCL and SDA lines to an I2C-capable microcontroller with appropriate pull-up resistors, typically 2.2k to 10k ohms depending on bus speed. Ensure the WP pin is tied to GND for normal write operations or VCC to protect the entire memory array from accidental writes. Use standard I2C libraries to address the device at its hardware-configured 7-bit address.
